Abstract
A draw mechanism for a straight bar knitting machine has a positively driven slurcock and a positively driven yarn carrier (i.e. not using a friction box) and drive means for reciprocating the yarn carrier on a guide means for the yarn carrier. Resilient means are provided interposed between the drive means and the carrier which urge the carrier to a normal position. In this way the carrier can be stopped in a predetermined position while the resilient means are stressed as the drive means overruns to some extent.
